Jim, That's what I have been doing. You are right about the weird ones (St. Louis vs. Saint Louis county for example). Thanks for the reply.

Rick, what I do is use the F1 key in the county field. This brings up the list of counties. Start typing what the other station sends, and let the window be your guide. This only fails when counties have strange abbreviations, like SLC for "Saint Louis [County]" and "STL" for "Saint Louis City" (recent MO QSO Party county abbreviations). Print out the contest rules, keep them nearby for these "special" cases. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.com PGP Fingerprint: D8E2 3D78 339F A7F1 8C13 1193 B5D1 4FB6 79D1 70DC _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
